Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: The Engagement

Angelica hid her malice behind a sweet smile.

If spirits really could return on the seventh day, perfect—she wanted that wretched Selina to see everything: how she was dead, how everything she left behind now belonged to Angelica, how even her husband was in such a hurry to get engaged that he did it on her seventh day.

Oh, the look on Selina’s face would be priceless.

Let Selina rest in peace? What a joke. Angelica wanted her to suffer forever in the depths of torment. Selina had dared to stand in her way—this was exactly what she deserved.

Of course, Logan saw right through her. His eyes were cold and sharp.

"The seventh day? Getting engaged on Selina’s seventh day would be a sign of disrespect."

Angelica’s expression nearly cracked. Disrespect was exactly the point! She wanted to grind Selina into the dirt, make sure even in death she knew no peace.

But Angelica still kept her delicate facade.

"Logan, how could it be disrespectful? This was the most important thing to Selina—her final wish. She wanted to see us together, as sisters... Grandpa Reid, don’t you agree?"

Grandpa Reid nodded.

"Logan, traditions are fixed, but people are flexible. If it was Selina’s wish, then so be it."

"Besides, according to tradition, the spirit only comes back once—on the seventh day. If you don’t get engaged then, she won’t see it. Would you have her leave this world without peace?"

Joe frowned slightly. Something didn’t feel right... but the logic seemed sound enough.

Sure, getting engaged to a new woman on your late wife’s seventh day was crass. But... if it was the wife’s final wish?

Logan was silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded. "Fine."

Angelica almost couldn’t keep her glee contained.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect! Logan had agreed!

She was going to be engaged to Logan on Selina’s seventh day! Hahahaha—this was the best moment of her life!

She couldn’t help herself and asked, "Then Logan, where do you plan to hold the engagement? At Sapphire Valley Villa, or...?"

Sapphire Valley Villa. Say Sapphire Valley Villa!

That way she could live in Selina’s house, sleep in Selina’s bed, and have Selina’s man. What could be sweeter?

"Sapphire Valley Villa," Logan replied, noticing the eagerness in her eyes. He gave her a slow, meaningful smile.

"Selina spent the most time there before she... passed. Who knows, maybe she’ll really come back that day."

Angelica shivered. "Wh-what are you talking about, Logan..."

"You and Selina were such ’good sisters.’ If she comes back on the seventh day, shouldn’t you be happy to see her?"

Angelica cursed him silently. What kind of terrible luck is this? Who wants to see Selina’s ghost?!

"Of course... I’d be very happy..."

"Logan," Grandpa Reid suddenly interjected, pretending to be considerate. "No need to respond to online speculation for now. Reid Family will hold a press conference soon to announce your engagement to Angelica."

"You’ve been through a lot. Go home and get some rest."

Logan gave the group one last glance, then turned and left the room.

Inside the sitting room, Joe still looked uneasy.

"Angelica, Logan doesn’t love you. If you’re only marrying him because of Selina’s will, I’m afraid you won’t find happiness."

Angelica smiled tearfully.

"It’s okay, Dad. I love him. That’s enough."

...

Back at Sapphire Valley Villa, the moment Logan came upstairs, he was greeted by a very chatty little bird.
